One witness, who identified herself as Sofia, told The Guardian that, “I heard loads of young girls crying out for help … I can’t see any ladders extending into the building … I can hear people screaming for help and they are dying.”

guy on Sky News who escaped saying he didn't hear any fire alarms going off... smelled burning plastic and heard people yelling to get out before the stairwell got cut off

This is @kctmo, the company that manages #GrenfellTower. Two months ago there was a fire, at a different property. #londonfire

Apparently 2 utes were making pressure cooker nail bombs on the 2nd floor when something went wrong.


Question is would the media report that?

The white plastic cladding that was put on the side of the building during the renovation caught on fire and burned all the way up to the top like a match. This company is fricked.

I've stayed in Pensacola in a building
this size that had a fire alarm going off in middle of the night. Its probably happened about five times that Ive been there (and there are residents livong there full time dealing with it all the time). I'm always grouchy about leaving but my wife and I leave and I carry my toddler down the 18 floors. Last time, one guy said he almost didn't come down because of troubles carrying his arthritic dog. I always worry about the people that stay behind. Here, if it's correct there were no fire alarms it's even worse. Prayers.

Holy shite, that is freaking horrible. Those pictures are unreal. Could you imagine you and your family being trapped and eventually burned to death?
